Artist Statement
In attempting to describe sublime experiences in words, one feels inadequate or pretentious. Perhaps this is why landscape painters have taken on depicting the sublime. I follow this tradition by visually expressing my ineffable encounters and conversations with what humans refer to as “the natural world”—a named distinction for wildlife and landscapes as if we are separate from them. By sharing my experiences, I challenge the construct of the nature/culture divide.
